RECRUITING DUTCH

NAZIS SEEK REGISTRATION (Rec. 11 a.m.) RUGBY, April 30. Radio Orange, on the authority of the Dutch Government in London, broadcast strongly-worded advice to Holland to disregard German instructions. This was in answer to a German radio announcement that all officers and men of the former Dutch army are to register preparatory to being sent back to prisoner of war camps. Radio Orange described it as : "the most serious attack ever made by the Germans on Dutch people," and warned that "only mass resistance and mass refusal to register can be successful." Radio Orange pointed out that the order was probably clue to the growing resistance of Holland against the Nazis and also to the shortage of man-power in Germany. Those who registered would, sooner or later, be transferred to the German prison camps and forced to work in Germany or be forced to form some kind of military legion under the leadership of German officers or Dutch traitors for police services somewhere in Europe.—B.O.W.
